This 1958 Richard Avedon photograph of Elizabeth Taylor is absolutely captivating.  I love that she’s simply styled without gems or distractions.  She really was devastatingly beautiful—just look at those almond eyes!

    Elizabeth Rose — I’ve been meaning to read it! Must pick up a copy!

    Lena — I don’t know if there’s an ounce of truth to that, but you just made my night. I’ve heard it once before, but it was an old flame and lord knows the boy had other motives : ) We need to get together next week for a girls dinner if nothing else. Remind me if I space!
